Live in Rental, may one day become ours...till then, I need a solution on antenna feed-lines.

I wouldn't mind punching the brick and using some sort of entrance box, much like BigDaddys...but then I gotta stub up into the wall and finish out all pretty.  Or I could use one of these:

MFJ 4603

$80 bux...what you think?  everything is there I'd need with a little left over (Ham, Scanner, Shortwave)....thoughts or alternatives?

Thanks Guys!

I almost bought one of these before I put my box on the wall.  With my window pass thru, I was using folded towels and foam rubber to keep the cold / heat / rain out...which sucked big time.  That should be a good temporary solution that can be easily undone.

I built something similar for my shack––didn't see that MFJ offers such a thing until after I finished.

drill a whole through one of the crawl space vents, then drill a hole through the floor then install your connector. no need for a pass through, unless you want extra lightning protection. then you could still use one of the vents, just have to mod the design a little.

One More Thing!

This will not be used in a room dedicated to Radios.  Meaning I'll have no 'shack' but will use my EMCOMM Box for that purpose.  Bring in, set up, talk....take down, remove, put in closet...All temporary and easily mobile.

If that's the case then what I said would work great for you. Feed the cable in to the closet and just uncoil what you need then when done coil it back up to store. Out of sight out of mind.
